Ted Cruz made me very happy [View all]

when he dropped out of the race. It felt like a real repudiation of his blatant Christianity. Supposedly God told Rafael to run for President. I am such a cynic that I suspect that Cruz is not really religious, but used it as a path to the nomination. He knows how weak people are and how susceptible they are to those who wear religion on their sleeve, but then to see all those Republicans vote for the orange marmalade instead of Cruz was great.

But I'm pretty sure we haven't heard the last of Rafael Eduardo Cruz. He joined the Senate in 2014 and won't be up for re-election till 2020. Maybe by then we'll have some strong Democrats in Texas to kick his ass out.
